Nollywood actress, Bose Alao
Omotoyosi has revealed in a
recent interview that even after she's given birth to
four children,
men are still running around her.
Read the excerpts
below:
How did your journey into
entertainment begin?
I started with NTA's Kiddies
Vision 101 show in 1995. From
there I began to feature on
Speak Out. When I finished my
WAEC exams, I went to the
National Arts Theatre, it was
there I met someone who
introduced me to Bimbo Oshin. I
played the role of a Waka pass in
her movie, Eji Owuro
What was the experience like
for you when you started out?
It was fantastic. I didn't know I
wasn't going to stay too long at
home after my secondary school
education. My admission came
early so I had to go to school. I
shuttled between school, hostel
and locations. I got a role in
Itakun, that was the movie that
brought me into limelight. When
it comes to acting and
developing my talent, I don't
watch people, I imitate myself to
get better.
In an interview, you said your
husband paid someone millions
of naira to get your phone
number. How true is that?
That was a misconception. I
didn't say that. My husband only
told me he paid someone before
getting my number. I honestly
don't know the amount. He was
looking for a way to get across
to me. He got my number
through someone close to Ronke
Oshodi Oke when Ronke
wouldn't give it to him. This was
after he saw me in the movie
Itakun. He said when he saw me
on the screen, he told his siblings
'This is my wife' but his sister,
according to him, didn't like his
idea of wanting to marry an
actress. From there on he started
finding ways to reach me. He
later met a guy that was close to
Ronke Oshodi Oke who gave him
my number.
When did you discover that he
is a footballer?
I got to know he is a footballer
when Ronke Oshodi Oke called
me that a certain footballer
wanted my phone number. I told
her not to give it to him. I was
told he is not a Nigerian that he
is from Benin Republic. I later
found out that he is a Nigerian
but plays for Benin Republic.
Eventually, I told her to tell him to
call me. He called me and we
scheduled an appointment.
How do you cope with not
having him around as often as
you would have wished
because of the nature of his
career?
Before the kids came, I wasn't
based in Nigeria .Wherever he
resided; I was always there with
him. We travelled together.
Before we got married he was
living in Sweden and I had to go
to Sweden with him. I came back
to Nigeria only two weeks to my
wedding. We were not around in
the country. Our families were
planning the wedding on our
behalf. Eleven days after the
wedding, I gave birth. Five
months after the wedding, we
travelled again.
How does he cope with seeing
you act romantic scenes?
My husband gets jealous just like
every man .I don't sleep in hotels
except it's outside Lagos.
Whenever I am on location in
Lagos, I still have to go back
home. I have to go home
especially when he is around.
Do you still get advances from
men?
I still do. It makes me feel young
and happy. They are all always on
my case but when I tell them I
am married, they relent.
What has marriage taught you?
I used to be a very stubborn
person. I didn't like saying sorry
whenever I did anything wrong.
My husband gets angry easily,
but when you are remorseful he
calms down and tells you he is
sorry too. It has really worked for
me and I have used that a lot in
my marriage. It's not easy to
apologise, especially when you
are not the one at fault. I don't
just say sorry I go inside and
kneel down to say sorry.
Has he ever had issues with
anything written about you?
He doesn't even read them.
I read somewhere that your
husband buys you provocative
clothes. How true is this?
Yes he does that.
Do you make him buy them?
My husband is not a cleric.
Whenever he goes to shop for
himself and he sees a cloth, he
buys it for me. He prefers to see
me wear those clothes than to
admire them on someone else.
He commends me whenever I
wear them. Most times, he shops
for me, except in cases where I
see a dress that I love.
What is the most expensive
thing he has ever bought for
you?
I think it's my wedding ring.
